She thought ordering Sir Peter's execution would appease her fury.
He was guilty of murder.
It didn't.
She thought ordering the same for Mary Ann might do so.
She was guilty of betrayal- in other words, treason.
It also didn't.
Neither did.
It made her furious.
And though she no longer felt pain, she longed to feel nothing at all. To forget. But this anger inside her would not allow that to happen.
On the outside, she had everything. In truth, she had lost everything.
She shook herself viciously, and strode out of the square, stepping through a pool of crimson blood.
She hated it.
And loved it.
Loved the fury that distracted her.
Shaking off the memories of another's blood, red blood, she practically dashed into the gardens.
Walking among the trees and flowers always had a calming effect on her anger.
But not today.
With a spark of fresh fury, she called over a gardener. "What is this?!" She yelled at the man, pointing to a rose dripping red. It's original white color could be seen through the paint.
"S-s-sorry-" The gardener stuttered. "We d-didn't-"
Cath- Queen Catherine- cut him off. "I cannot abide the color white!!!! OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!!" She shrieked.
A couple guards, who always followed her for just this sort of purpose, grabbed hold of his arms and dragged him away.
Cath watched him go, ignoring his pleas for mercy. Raven would take care of him.
She kept watching, frozen and quiet now. "I cannot abide it." She repeated. "Not after... not after him."
